got the brass today looks good little dirty like its been put away for awhile. As usual the extra 10% that American reloading puts in ill take it . I should be good on 30rar brass for 6 life times now. Good buy see how long it lasts

I forgot to get back to you on the barrel nut. I reassembled the rifle last night and yes, its an AR10 size barrel nut. Never looked at one next to an AR 15 nut. It's a lot bigger. That made me wonder where they got the extra receiver room from so I put the stripped receiver alongside a different AR 15 stripped receiver and that explained that. The part of the receiver that receives the barrel as well as the slide area for the bolt is larger. I initially thought the 30RAR was more AR15 than AR10, but its more like a weird hybrid. Guess that's why the magwell is stamped R30 and not R15.

In Theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In Practice, there is.

Mark's a local. He emailed me also and I told him we had heard about the deal back on Feb 24th. I told him that for a little more money, you could buy loaded ammo and fireform it to your chamber. I did thank him for thinking of me. So are you the number 1 or 2 guy ahead of me on his list?

I feel your pain. I'm not sure if some distributor was cleaning out their warehouse, or whatever, but suddenly the 150gr Core Lokt load is being sold at a bunch of outlets now...??? Wonder where they came from...

In any case, Grab-a-gun has best price at $15.49, second place is Ammo Liquidator with $17.41, and several other places online at less than $20 per 20...

Now, if somebody would just stumble across a pallet of Hog Hammer loads....
